Brazil’s Lula Will Ask China’s Xi to Help Broker Peace in Ukraine; U.S. Sees No Peace Talks in 2023

HeadlineApr 13, 2023

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has arrived in China for a state visit, where he’s planning to ask President Xi Jinping to have China join Brazil as mediators in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

This comes after the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency said it expects the war to continue into 2024 with neither side agreeing to peace talks. The revelation came as part of highly sensitive U.S. government materials leaked online and obtained by The Washington Post. The Post is also reporting the man behind the leak is a young, racist gun enthusiast who worked on a U.S. military base and was seeking to impress a small group of people, mostly men and teenage boys, in an invitation-only forum on Discord, an online platform popular with gamers.
